7 7. TIME VIOLATIONS: Timing will begin/end with the first/last organized word, movement or note of music after they are officially announced and have taken the floor. a. Individuals must enter and exit in a timely manner. b. Organized entrances are not allowed. 8. COACHES BOX: Coaches must remain in the designated coach s area during the Individual s performance. Coaches will not be allowed to assist the individual during the entrance, routine performance or exit.

SPORTSMANSHIP: Any unsportsmanlike behavior from athletes, spectators and/or coaches. Coaches must display good sportsmanship and require the same from members of their program. COMPETITION POLICIES MUSIC GUIDELINES: ACP will follow the Varsity Spirit Music Guidelines for all competitions. Please visit varsity.com/music for the most up-to-date guidelines and latest resources. Coaches will also be required to have proof of licensing at the event and must be able to show a printed copy of proof upon request. If you do not have the required paperwork, your options will be to perform your routine with a track of music provided by the Competition Director or a track with counts. You must provide a representative from your program to play music. A sound system WILL NOT be provided in the warm-up area at any competition. Individual Event Athletes will need to bring their own sound system (if needed) in the warm-up area. A sound system is provided on the Performance Floor. We will NOT provide CD players. We will require playing music from MP3 player or phone (MUST be in airplane/do not disturb mode). We highly recommend using an ipod or other music-playing device without cellular connection for music playback. Avoiding using a cellular phone during performances is best, however if this is a must follow these tips: o Use a phone with a headphone jack. The newest phones, including the iphone 7, 8, 10 and Samsung Galaxy S7 do not have headphone jacks and this can cause issues during playback. o Take off the case! Failure to do so may disconnect the phone jack from the playback system causing a skip in the music or complete cut off. o Make sure the device is turned on airplane mode. o Download the music directly to the device and play using the playback software. Using a secondary platform, online services, or streaming music can cause disruptions during playback due to internet connections within convention centers and venues. o Update the Operating System on the device. Failure to do so may cause interruptions during playback. If there is a music interruption that occurs during a performance and is the fault of YOUR adapter or equipment, you will NOT be able to do your routine again. Music interruption that is due to the fault of OUR equipment, will be addressed immediately by the event official and you will be able to do your Routine, full out, in its entirety again. Updated 04/30/18 Page 6
8 SPOTTERS: Must be provided for Partner Stunt and Group Stunt Categories: Should not assist, save or interfere with elements being performed. They should only assist and/or prevent an athlete from falling to the performance surface, which could result in injury. Exception: It is suggested that Partner Stunt Spotters assist on all cradles and other dismounts. Should not dress or act in a manner that would distract from the performing athletes. Should be age and level appropriate to provide an adequate safety precaution for the age and level of the performing athletes. Spotters are recommended to be at least 18 years old. INTERRUPTION POLICY: Injury/Illness: If an athlete is injured and/or is ill on the practice mat or the performance floor, the athlete will be given up to 30 minutes or until right before the award ceremony, whichever comes first, to regroup before they are required to perform. NOTE: If an injury and/or illness occur on the performance floor during a routine, the individual may perform their routine again in its entirety or let the performance stand as-is. If an individual performs again, the routine must be performed full out, from the beginning and the judges will begin evaluating the routine from the point of interruption. Music: In the event a technical error causes a team s music to be interrupted, the coach will have the opportunity to stop the performance. The individual may perform that routine again in its entirety or let the performance stand as-is. If the individual performs again, the routine must be performed full out, from the beginning and the judges will begin evaluating the routine from the point of interruption as determined by the Judges. AGE PROTEST: Must be made by a Coach of a registered program at the event. It is the responsibility of the source of the accusation to provide specific documentation of any age violation. The $100 fee must be paid at the time of the protest. If a ruling is made in your favor, the fee will be returned. Response time will be dependent upon availability of appropriate staff and pending verification of appropriate documentation. Resolution may not occur until after the event. DISQUALIFICATION: After the competition, if a participant is found to have performed illegally, all titles will be revoked and awards will be adjusted accordingly. TIE POLICY: Due to Cheer Power s philosophy in rewarding athletes, Cheer Power will not break any ties. Scores with a difference of up to.05 based on a 50-point scale MAY result in a tie upon the judges discretion. Updated 04/30/18 Page 7
